To be exactly, I have no idea of where the relay is connected to, the instruction points to somewhere under the passenger seat, I don't think that is correct. The 13-pin socket is going to be connected to caravan.
Thank you for your solution Andy. There are two issues, Firstly, 30A to pin 30 might not be enough to deal with surge current for leisure batter/fridge on start. Secondly, the alternator is connected with the battery and has permanent power, the relay would still draw current on standby, the battery would run flat. As I looked at STC50179 as said previously, LR wiring solution seems better, the pin 30 is connected to the battery +terminal and the pin 86 to WG ignition, the relay is energized on ignition.
do you mean WG wire on D2 alternator? W wire provides a pulse signal, but the pin 86 must have constant high voltage e.g. >13.4v to keep the relay closed. In LR wiring, the relay is not closed until the engine starts.
NO, WG is ignition 2 live coming from fuse F24, it has power even without engine running
The WG wire has nothing to do with the red light, the warning light works with the NY wire the way you explained just that it has power through the IP from F27. The WG wire is from F24 as i explained before, the so called "exciter wire".
